I’m not usually a fan of vanilla fragrances on me, but this one is very pleasant. My order consisted of 6 travel-sized women’s perfumes to sample, after coming across a sample vial of Saffron & Sangria included with a recent purchase, which made me want to explore the range. Out of the 6 fragrances, this one is probably my least favorite, but it’s still very light and wearable, even for someone like me who avoids vanilla perfumes. I bought it because I was intrigued by the scent description and wanted to experience it. It’s not every day you encounter vanilla with notes of pear, jasmine, grapefruit, rose and musk. Honestly, it’s a lovely fragrance. The vanilla isn’t too much, it doesn’t smell like a teenager’s scent, it’s complex, mature, and inviting. For me, though, the Ktoret Botanica is the one I’m most drawn to and keep reaching for. If you love vanilla notes in your perfume, you might just love it. It says a lot for me that I even like it at all!
